What Is The Output

—

A dynamic HTML-prototype is what you get as the final phase of user experience design. It feels like a 100% realistic product with simple visual design and demo data. In your business you use such a prototype to demonstrate functional requirements to designers and developers, for usability testing and a part of your pitch to investors. Prototyping prior to development helps you to mitigate financial risks and eliminate fatal usability issues.

Interface Design Stages

—

As a rule, we do UX design for 15-30 days. This range depends on how many screens your product is going to have, overall complexity of it. Provided you have user portraits, scenarios of interaction and any other requirements and business analysis reports, we will do it faster.

First Look, User Portraits

—We gather information from multiple sources, collect business requirements from you, review competitors’ businesses and solutions to build a product to reach your business goals.

Paper Prototype

—This is the quickest way to get on the same page regarding our vision on the product. Keeping in mind the IA from stage 2, we sketch the future interface.

Informational Structure

—Based on portraits we create a site map giving us clear understanding about your product structure. Basically, this is your prototype but put in words.

HTML Prototype

—

Using Axure RP or Sketch, we build an HTML prototype rich with animation, interactions, responsive design features. This what makes the prototype so close to the final product, which can be usability tested.
